sfu nfs client contacting port 80 on nfs server

[Guest]

Hello

hope this is not offtopic in this group, but a couple of days ago I had the following discussion with the sfu newsgroup moderator. As he advised I post this issue in a filesystem group. Any thoughts

Cheers Jan Behren

Personally I don't know enough about webdav to recommend disabling it. Ca
you pls post the issue on one of the windows file-system related newsgroups

Hi
Thanks for answering
This is on an uptodate XP and SFU version 3.5 which I downloaded a coupl of days ago
There is a packet filter running on the nfs server and it filters incomin tcp packages on port 80
(It is TCP not UDP as I wrongly stated in my first posting.) So the nf

client will wait for timeouts and then show the contents of the shar
correctly. But every once in a while it will repeat this request. Sinc
these timeouts take their time (around 3 secs each) it gets annoying after
while. Can I make the webdav redirector quit its job

Your server has IIS on it? MSFT has its WebDAV server-side on IIS boxes.
No IIS means no DAV server. If you have IIS and need to disable WebDAV,
google for "IIS disable WebDAV site:microsoft.com".
Or are you saying this is going over mrxdav.sys on the client? If so, I'd
ask the SFU guys why their client is talking to the DAV client. Shouldn't
NFS have its own redirector?

Or maybe I just don't understand that's happening . . .

is contacting port 80 threetimes before showing the share's contents. Since
these udp >packets are filtered the client times out, which is annoying. I
wondered why the client needs this contact.

Hi again

to communicate between the two of you is kinda funny. But anyway here is what the SFU guy said
Concerning your questions: The server is a Linux machine (kernel 2.4.19) with the kernelbased
nfs daemon running
I am very curious to see the result of this discussion

Regards Jan Behren

You're very welcome, sir. :
source http://www.theeldergeek.com/webclient.htm go back to the file system

duuno what other dependencies there are

If you stop the webclient do you still get the lag?
